Underfloor Heating
Most underfloor heating systems are warm water (wet) systems although electric (dry) systems are available. For wet systems, pipes are buried in screed, or run underneath the floor surface. Underfloor
heating systems operate by transferring heat from a very large surface, which is only slightly hotter than
the room. Radiator systems transfer heat from a very small surface, which is much hotter than the room, which is very hot.
Typically, the temperature of the water in the underfloor heating system pipe is 45 – 65oC (compare this
to approximately 80oC flow and surface temperature of a radiator system) and this warms the floor to a temperature of 25 – 28oC, which is comfortable to walk on.
